Pictures and Events
Robert Falcon Scott, British Antarctic Expedition (South Pole Expedition) on the ship Terra Nova, 1910 - 1913.
1911 - Herbert Ponting in his darkroom at Hut Point. Large heavy wooden cased cameras, big glass plates, wet chemistry using melted ice filtered before use and variable temperatures with little capacity to control them all made his job so much more different than today.
